(Face & Head Shave)

A new eclectic shave set up to start the first weekend face & head shave of 2025...

Maiden outing with the Amazon Solimo blade. First verdict? This morning I done a extra XTG pass to test the blade edge of which I get the feeling this blade will give good longevity, only time will tell, so I'll push them to max of four 3 pass +pick ups' shaves per blade for my shaving curiosity throughout the month.

The Gillette Guard performance was more than acceptable mowing through my head stubble with effortless ease.

A close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel EdT to the pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
